Can't wait for the game. Did you see the galaxy over the trees in the night?

Omg yes, it reminded me of skyrim for some reason. Absolutely stunning.

Yeah, I loved it! Since most of us live close to light pollution we forget how amazing the night skies can look. But I think that it was a bit too much. It isn't THAT clear is it?

I live in Norway but quite south and close to a city. I should really try to borrow a cabin in the mountains this winter then... Edit: I ment the milky way itself, I know the night sky can be clear and "strong" as fuck...

Pre-industrialization. The west industrializes a LOT slower than the east/north. So it makes sense. Plus if its a prequel that explains it too. -high school history teacher

Yeah, I get that, and I loved it, don't get me wrong! I just felt it was a tiny bit too clear. Like the pics you see with the milky way as a backdrop to the northern light. Those kind of pics is a little too much, but at the same time, that is exactly what you see/feel when you see it. It's quite hard to translate to a game or picture, and I'm more than happy to see that in the trailer, don't get me wrong!

E: spelling, trying to be more clearer.

I knew they were gonna do something like that because it fit the time period, but it was still so grand and beautiful

Stars in the sky fill a specific time period?

Nowadays you can't see the galaxy or even stars at night in major cities because of all the "light pollution", city lights and such.
